    What does CPU stand for?

    • Central Printer Unit

    • Central Processeing Unit

    • Centre Print Union

    • Centre Processing Unit

    Correct Answer
    A. Central Processeing Unit
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Central Processing Unit. The CPU is the primary component of a computer that performs most of the processing inside the system. It is responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations, making it the "brain" of the computer. The other options, such as Central Printer Unit and Centre Print Union, do not accurately represent the acronym CPU and its function.

    A sound card is also known as?

    • Audio signals

    • Graphic card

    • Audio card

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Audio card
    Explanation
    A sound card is also known as an audio card because it is responsible for processing and producing audio signals in a computer system. It is a hardware component that allows for the input and output of audio data, enabling sound to be played through speakers or headphones and allowing for the recording of audio through a microphone. The term "audio card" is commonly used to refer to this specific component of a computer system.

    What does RAM stand for?

    • Random Access Memory

    • Random Act Memory

    • Read Access Memory

    • Read Act Memory

    Correct Answer
    A. Random Access Memory
    Explanation
    RAM stands for Random Access Memory. This is a type of computer memory that allows data to be read from and written to quickly. Unlike other types of memory, such as Read Access Memory or Read Act Memory, RAM allows for random access, meaning that any piece of data can be accessed directly without having to read through the entire memory. Random Access Memory is essential for the efficient functioning of a computer as it provides temporary storage for data and instructions that are actively being used by the CPU.

    What are the two output devices in a pc?

    • Monitor

    • Keyboard

    • Mouse

    • Printer

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Monitor
    A. Printer
    Explanation
    The two output devices in a PC are the monitor and printer. The monitor displays visual information such as images, videos, and text, allowing the user to see what is happening on the computer. The printer, on the other hand, produces hard copies of digital documents or images, allowing the user to obtain physical copies of their work. Both devices play a crucial role in providing visual output and enabling users to interact with and share information from their computer.

    What is a motherboard?

    • It contains the connectors for attaching additional boards.

    • It is inside the tower

    • It can do everything that is related to pc

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. It contains the connectors for attaching additional boards.
    Explanation
    A motherboard is a main circuit board in a computer that holds many of the crucial components of the system, such as the CPU, memory, and connectors for attaching additional boards. It serves as a hub that allows these components to communicate with each other and enables the computer to function properly.

    The speed of a CPU measured in? (Choose 2)

    • Gigabyte

    • Kilobyte

    • Megahertz

    • Gigahertz

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Megahertz
    A. Gigahertz
    Explanation
    The speed of a CPU is measured in Megahertz and Gigahertz. Megahertz (MHz) and Gigahertz (GHz) are units used to measure the clock speed of a CPU, which indicates how many cycles the CPU can complete in a second. A higher clock speed generally indicates a faster CPU, as it can execute instructions more quickly. Therefore, Megahertz and Gigahertz are the correct units for measuring the speed of a CPU.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which component of a PC is responsible for managing and coordinating communication between various hardware components, performing calculations, and executing instructions from software programs?

    • Central Processing Unit (CPU)

    • Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

    • Random Access Memory (RAM)

    • Power Supply Unit (PSU)

    Correct Answer
    A. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
    Explanation
    The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is often referred to as the brain of the computer. It is responsible for executing instructions from software programs by performing calculations and managing the flow of data between different hardware components. The CPU plays a crucial role in determining the overall performance and speed of a computer system. While all the options listed are important components of a PC, the CPU specifically handles processing tasks and is essential for the functioning of the system.
